When your dash lights up, telling you something is wrong with your tires, is it important to stop? In most cases, the answer is yes. Your tires must be inflated properly, or safety will be affected. Under-inflated tires can't grip the road properly or create traction on wet surfaces.

For your safety, each tire has an internal pressure gauge that communicates electronically with your car. In some vehicles, the system tells you which tire has a problem. If it isn't specific about which tire, local Waukesha, WI drivers should check the pressure in all four tires, adding air…

An engine overheating can not only ruin your day, but it can also put you in an unsafe situation, especially if it occurs at night time. Typically, an engine overheating occurs due to a decrease in the coolant which the engine needs to reduce the high level of heat that it’s exposed to during operation.

If the coolant level becomes too low due to a leak or deficient radiator hose, you will generally experience an engine overheating. Many times, there are warning signs of a leak, such as seeing fluid on your driveway or a spray of fluid underneath…

Sand's great for traction and litter will work, but it can tend to get messy once it gets wet since it has clay in it. Salt is also a good item to use for traction, but it will dissolve in temperatures above 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Sand will pretty much stay…

If you're new to vehicle ownership, or you just never had a problem with it in the past, then you might not have heard of a differential. Although it's a lesser-known component of your vehicle than the engine and the wheels, it's just as important.

So what, exactly, is a differential? It's a gearbox that transfers the power from your engine to your wheels. Without the wheel, your car can't move. Without an engine, your car can't move. Similarly, without a differential, your car can't move. If your differential is malfunctioning, you might…

Horsepower is a measurement of the relative power of an engine in cars, trucks, tractors and other vehicles that are run by engines. You can find out more about how horsepower affects modern vehicles by contacting the Boucher Nissan of Waukesha team at your convenience.
